Cricklade House  

Full of promise as you drive up the long drive to the hotel building, and appears very welcoming from the outside. Inside it's a relaxed, informal, atmosphere, unpretentious and comfortable, with friendly and pleasant (but professional) staff. We had to stay for a second night which we had not booked, and the staff were very flexible, reasonable and helpful when I asked to have the same discounted rate again. Overall the hotel has character and personality. Good balance of facilities available but I didn't get a chance to use the pool/spa. but at discount price was affordable and superb value considering the generous cooked breakfast. Good quality and reassuringly traditional, and more than well deserving of its 3star AA rating. The lounge in the conservatory was fab with its enormous sofas and glorious views. Rooms were spacious and comfortably furnished, beds lovely and squishy, bedding was good quality and towels beautifully thick and fluffy. Food (breakfast and bar menu) was delicious and flavourful local produce, real bacon like it used to be, plump tasty and natural sausages and eggs with rich dark yolks, all cooked perfectly. Loved it and would definitely choose it again

Nothing that I did not like. We had no complaints (our room on the first night had faulty radiator thermostat that made it too hot overnight, but we were moved next day to an enormous room in the Courtyard annexe.) My only comment would be that in some parts (ie our room in the annexe) the decor is a bit tired, dated and 80'S. Specifically our second bathroom had very dated coloured bath and was carpeted rather than tiled - quite off-putting and had the appearance of being grubby (even though it was quite clean!) especially in comparison to our bathroom in the main house which had been white tiled, bright and spotless. Having said that, I believe the whole place is undergoing a refurbishment project, so this will hopefully be dealt with - and when you consider the quality and value overall it's not that significant, although if I'd paid rack rate I might have found it disappointing.

We were two couples walking the thames path and of all our stays Cricklade House was the best, very good value and we all wish we could have stayed longer but we will be back for a weekend. Alan of Radlett

I enjoyed the remoteness of the hotel,the peace and quiet.The view from the conservatory was beautiful. Our room was warm and very clean and comfortable.We did not use the spa or pool,as we only stayed one night,and we did not use the restaurant,but the breakfast was very good. We would stay again and use more of the facilities.

There was a strange smell in the foyer that was a little offputting.

From the moment we got there the staff made you feel welcome, and the hotel was very inviting, the rooms are well equiped and the swimming pool and spa pool very inviting after a days walking or shopping. The food was lovely in the restaurant. The whole experience was very enjoyable and would definately return.

The bed mattresses were hard to sleep on and not what we are used to.

quiet, relaxing, good location, nice surroundings,

rooms a bit shabby. requested wake up call did not happen, breakfast seating was not very well organised, only 2 loungers round the pool. Jaccuzzi wasnt working.

Staff friendly and welcoming towels lovely and fluffy shower hot swimming pool good sustantial breakfast reasonable bar meal

Pint of beer and small glass of wine £8.65 bit over the top.Extra vegtables @£2.50 also overpriced.

Welcoming reception and breakfast staff. The bathrooms have decent showers and I love the big white fluffy towels. Breakfast is good and I can recommend the spa treatments too!

The beds are not the most comfortable I've slept on but despite this I managed to sleep ok.

Friendly and professional staff, excellent food, very clean and comfortable room, good facilities (golf, snooker, pool, swimming pool). Could not ask for more. Very enjoyable stay.

Hardly anything. Only point was I only wanted to play 9 holes of golf but had to pay the cost for 18 holes (still it was only £9 so didn't break the bank).

Lovely old house in glorious countryside. Comfortable room and good short hole golf course.Must comment on the fantastic quality of the towels.Great quality breakfast and well trained staff.

first wedding of the year was taking place on the day we arrived,this put a little pressure on bar staff.Although this event was happening there was no noise from the group that night, which we were half expecting.

Exellent central accomadation to cotswold area at a competative price.

Overall the comfort and politeness of the staff were realy good, Facilities excellent. And location met all our needs to exolre the Cotswolds. Would recomend /use again.

We had a fab weekend so very relaxing all aspects were just right and we will be back

The Steam room could have been cleaner not saying it was dirty but the edge was off it compared to rest of hotel

staff friendly,very relaxing,and had agreat time at the hotel ,many thanks
